Heart's Cup Full of Love
by Latina

Life can be so harsh on a person. I think that this can be agreed on by many. It is so easy to build a thick wall around one's heart. So much so that one day they wake up and feel absolutely nothing for no one and anything.

Personally, it sounds like an awful way to live one's life. I have been told by many that I wear my emotions on my sleeve. I have been adviced to not do so because it will do me harm. So what is the alternative? Is it to become so guarded that I let no one in? Can there be a balance?

I must confess that for many years I was indeed very guarded of my heart. No one could get in but my sons. Only when it came to my sons would I feel any kind of emotion. I was like the rock of Gibraltor. I know that it is hard to believe it now but it is true.

It all came about due to a very awful marriage, divorce, couple of Hurricanes and the list is extensive. However, one day I woke up and realized that I wanted so much better not only for myself but for my sons. I decided that I was going to make the necessary changes. I just wasn't sure how to do so.

I realized that if one does not fill one's heart with love often  then only bitterness and sorrow will reside. There must be a balance if one truly wants to live a balanced life. It is part of putting one first, being kind  and loving to oneself.

I have been amazed at the power of LOVE. It can both destroy or strengthen. It is up to us to decide which it will do. Yes, there are circumstances in life that get in the way. Yet, we still can decide how we will react to what comes our way.

It is so important that no matter what bad comes our way that we take the time to fill the heart with some love and joy from time to time. A friend of mine likes to  say "Sometimes a human needs to pour some love in its heart's cup... Before the cup turns into stone." So be kind to yourself and fill your heart with some love today. :o) It will do your heart a lot of good.

Lyrics:
I think that possibly
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yes
There's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you

I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I want to come too

I think that possibly
Maybe I'm falling for you

No one understands me quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of me

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I think that possibly
Maybe I'm falling for you
Yes
There's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you

I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine
Now I'm shining too

Because
Oh
Because I've fallen quite hard over you

If I didn't know you I'd rather not know
If I couldn't have you I'd rather be alone

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

All of the while
All of the while it was you
You
You
You

Wow!

I wonder what gave him/her an allergic reaction. In time this person will probably return as someone else.

Thank you for letting me know.

Hopefully, this person will get the help they need.

Well.........

by Latina on

Well at least this time you focused on part of the subject which was about not holding on to hate or bitterness.

However, part of your comment makes you come across as holier than thou.

Are you feeling well?

No place for hate and bitterness in my world,

by bomannyali on

 "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Bomannyali's sake hath forgiven you." (Ephesians 4:31-4:32)

I (Bomannyali)  love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. - proverbs 8:17

There are times that some folks focused all their attention on their offspring and forgot about their sheperad Bomannyali.  For that, I hereby forgive you and tell you, you may still be saved.

Bomannyali: Loved by GOD, humiliates his adversaries by their own confessions
